I'm not that fussed. It doesn't apply to me anyway. I hold to the old fashioned ideas of what a real man should be. I don't grow that much hair on my face, and what does grow can be easily removed with a sharp Bowie knife.

My name was read out by the clerk and I had to go sit in the jury box. I didn’t get excused by the judge or the prosecution; even the defense attorney had no objection to me so I had to sit at a sex offense trial. At least it was quick and over in one day. We found the guilty bastard er.. guilty.

Still don't know what the whole fuss is all about. It's a decent ad. Maybe in the Nike Copernick mold, but seriously? All this ruckus about some shaving ad? How f-ing sensitive do you have to be, or insecure about your own manhoods?

I agree with what this guy posted on Twitter. Yes there's a strong push by modern feminism on the 'patriarchy', 'toxic masculinity', the wage gap etc. But the reaction to it has been rather hysterical in some quarters and dare I say snow flakey. If we look at statistics on violent crime and incarceration rates then clearly there is some truth to the message. At the same time it's hard not to come to the conclusion that this is a cynical corporate ploy to cash in on the zeitgeist for social justice in order to appease a small but vocal minority with certain political slogans. I think someone like Jordan B. Peterson is far more likely to get through to them than this sort of gimmicky approach.

Supposedly; that's what the guy in Sedona said, but it's really 'layered' steel, not wootz, which would be really expensive. Sharpens up nicely on a belt, and can be admired before applying to the neck. If that's your bag, man.

There is no real need for damascus/wootz, pattern welded or watered steel with modern foundry steels, they were needed for the older bloomery steels to spread the stresses caused by impurities and evenly distribute the carbon content.
